O que este vídeo aborda

Andy of BoatworksToday applies a barrier coat to the bilge area of a sailboat to seal the fiberglass and simplify future cleaning.1:07 After fairing the keel to a flat finish, he prepares the bilge by vacuuming and cleaning it with a de-waxer.0:10 He selects Total Protect by Total Boat for its moisture-sealing properties and long recoat window.2:57 He mixes the barrier coat at a three-to-one ratio of base to catalyst, allowing for a 15-minute induction time before adding up to 10% reducer to achieve a creamy consistency.3:49 He applies three coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications to avoid solvent trap, which can cause blistering.15:54 He uses a portable air scrubber in the forward hatch to manage fumes during the process.14:27 The barrier coat provides a durable, smooth surface in the bilge, serving as a final preparation step before installing the cabin sole and bulkheads.2:00
